• Orientation is east-west facade.

100. •Floors: Infinity Benchmark is a huge 20 storeyed, 71.64 metre high building.
•Area: 560,000 Square Feet.
It offers infrastructural solutions to IT and ITES industries. The developers began the
project with the objective of producing an environment-friendly built environment
that would change the mindset of the city dwellers and developers about being
content with the traditional building methods.
•Purpose:
• Infinity Benchmark, has been awarded LEED Platinum level certification by the U.S
Green building council.(USGBC).

101. Passive design strategies:
• Indoor air quality:
 CO2 monitoring sensors maintain the indoor air quality, supplying fresh air depending
on the occupancy level. Another feature maintaining the indoor environment is the
presence of intelligent humidification controls, very important for a coastal place like
Kolkata.
• Electric cars for communication:
 One extraordinary feature provided by Infinity Benchmark is the environment friendly
communication system in the form of electric cars for commuting to work. Charging points
are installed for these cars to make the system viable. This step helps educate people
about the need to adopt sustainable methods to keep the environment clean.
• Healthy work environment:
 The builders have intentionally used low-organic volatile paints, adhesives, sealants
and materials to reduce carbon footprint and maintain a healthy work environment for
the users.
 Electric car charging points and preferred car parks provided for electric vehicles.
This helps reduce pollution and land development impacts from automobile use
100 % multi storied covered parking has been provided.

102. Building material:
•Effective glazing:
 Double-glazed glass units ensure maximum penetration of the day-light inside the
building. The natural lighting covers nearly 75% of the work area, reducing the need
of artificial lighting. Double glazing also reduces the heat intake that minimizes the
load on air-conditioners.
•Recyclable construction material:
 To minimize the building’s impact on the environment, construction materials
having 20% recycled material were used. In addition, 20% locally available material
was used to reduce the impact of material transportation.
 Provision of separate space for storage of various waste materials.
 Recycled materials such as aluminum, ply board, vitrified tiles, glass etc., have been
used in the construction to reduce the use of new virgin materials.
 Use of certified wood to encourage environmentally responsible forest
management.

103. Energy efficiency:
• Effective insulation for energy efficiency:
 A terrace garden on the rooftop reduces the heat island effect that is so common in
cities like Kolkata. This goes a long way in minimizing the cooling needs of Infinity
Benchmark. The external walls are made of brick wall blocks with thick polystyrene
insulation and ACP cladding. Similarly, the roof has an under-deck thick polyurethane
foam coating. Additionally, an energy-efficient design and equipment are used to
minimize the energy load.
polystyrene insulation
Aluminum composite panel
thick polyurethane foam coating
 Use of shading devices reduces the direct sun light through glass.
 Energy efficient internal and external light fixtures have been used.
 Use of artificial lighting during the day time is minimized.

104. Water efficiency:
• Zero-discharge water facility:
 A rainwater harvesting system is installed that stores water in large tanks. This
water is treated and used to minimize need for any external water sources. The
waste water is treated and recycled for irrigation and cooling purposes. Low flow
and efficient water fixtures also make this building self sufficient in its water needs.
 Rain water from roof and open areas is captured to recharge the ground water.
 100 % waste water generated in the building is treated to high water quality
standards at site.
 The treated waste water from STP ( sewage treatment plant)is sued for irrigation,
flushing and air conditioning purposes with in building.
 Use of water efficient fixtures in the building saves 40% water.
 Native plant species for landscaping consumes very less water.
 In case of storm, the pervious pavement and landscape recharge the ground water.

111. Roof garden
Absorbing heat and radiating it into the building.this is
minimized through the roof gardens covering 55% of the
roof area.
Rain water harvesting
Seepage into the ground have been installed in
pedestrian areas and parking

112. Natural lighting
Natural light deflection systems can direct light deep into
the room and ensure better natural lighting provisions

113. Usage of light glazing and vision clazing
The double glazes glass will just allow the diffused sunlight to pass
through and will radiate the solar readiation back.it is located in he
western direction because the suns reays is highly radiant when it
is setting.

114. Double glazed glass
 this consists of two sheets of glass with space in between sometimes
filled with air or other gases or vacuum.
 Variations in thickness have a certain effect up to a certain limit,on the
percentage of radiation allowed to penetrate and on thermal conductance of
the composition.
 The main advantage of this type of cross section os its ability to reduce
heattransfer from one pane to the other.both by conduction and byradiation

115. Jalli wall
Jallis or lattice walls are used to prevent
glare and heat gain while ensuring
adequate day lighting
And views,the jalli used in many historic
buildings such qs the taj mahal gives
definition and an aesthetic appeal to a
space
Jalli (perforated) for bringing in natural light and also
ventilation

117. solar system
Harvesting of solar energy-20% of the
buildings
Energy reqirement is catered to by solar
Photovoltaic
The solar pv has an installed capacity of 23.5
kw
Average generation is 100-125 units per day

118. Wind system
A combination of sensible cooling in the ground
and evaporative cooling with the flow of air
induced by the winds tower can be achieved by a
configuration as shown the heat loss from air
results in a decreased air temp. but no change in
the water vapiur content of the air.

119. Energy efficiency
 Design – orientation for maximum day light
 Avoiding green wall and green roof
 Use of energy efficient white goods
 Use of zero cfc refrigertors in refrigerators and
air condition .
 Online monitoring system to monitor the
energy performance
 Establishing baseline data for energy
consumption
 Use of eco friendly electric car for transport
and traveling withing the premises helping in
preventing pollution

144.  Water Efficiency
 There has been a 58% reduction in overall water consumption in the building through the
use of efficient plumbing fixtures, plus only recycled water is used for irrigation.
 Energy Efficiency
 The building is 40% more efficient than the globally accepted ASHRAE standard and has the
potential to save about 800,000 kgs of carbon emissions. This has been achieved through an
efficient building envelope, which includes insulated walls and roof, along with spectrally
selective double glazed windows which are appropriately shaded. Adding to that is the use
of efficient equipment and smart automation leading to a 40% reduction in energy costs.
Lighting
 90% of this office space harvests natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during
daytime. The design includes light shelves along all windows to ensure that the natural light
travels as deep into the building as possible. This lighting design is 35% more efficient than
ASHRAE standards. The contrasting brightness within the building has also been reduced by
using light color surfaces and ceilings, thus reducing the strain on pupils, and as a result,
employees are less tired.

145.  Green Power
 100% energy consumption of this building is met with green power
 Efficient Material Selection and Management
 For this project, Infosys has diverted construction waste from landfills. 10% of the total
